Wow. Texans go for a 2 pt conversion (and get it) to try to win the game and lose the #1 pick. -- nm - pmb Jan 8, 13:06 20
- da Bears...get #1 (figure they have to trade and go with Fields) -- nm - Beaker Jan 8, 13:06 19
  - What they should do is rebuild the O-line, the entire D front 7, and 2-3 receivers that can run routes and catch the ball. Every player in those - zunk takes things literally Jan 8, 13:37
  - What they should do is trade Fields and take a QB since they don’t have one. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 8, 13:16 15
    - Trade Fields to who? -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jan 8, 13:24
    - He was quite good in his last 11 games. I'm way more optimistic about him than I was. -- nm - pmb Jan 8, 13:18 13
      - He can’t throw. PFF gave him a failing grade something like 11 out of 15 games this season. In two others, he got a D. - The Allfather Jan 8, 13:20 11
        
        There has been talk of doing this but if Fields is as terrible as you say, who would take him. - zunk takes things literally Jan 8, 13:29 1
        
        Teams trade second and third round picks for QBs annually. It's the one person's junk philosophy. - David Jan 8, 13:55
        
        I'd be shocked. And his stats don't bear out those grades. Keep in mind he had a sieve for an offensive line and 1 competent receiver. -- nm - pmb Jan 8, 13:23 6
        
        His stats show that he has thrown less than 150 yards per game this season. The league average is 220. -- nm - David Jan 8, 13:56 5
        
        Ok, but what's the league average for qb rushing yards. You have to look at the whole player. They were the number 1 rushing team in the league. - pmb Jan 8, 14:11 4
        
        Look, you're a fan, and I don't want to ruin your fandom. - David Jan 8, 14:29 3
        
        Honestly I didn't want to like him (he went to Ohio State). He has significantly improved in a short period. This was a bad bears team (hence the #1 - pmb Jan 8, 14:44 2
        
        I am watching the games, and I don't see the improvement. This was just last week. - David Jan 8, 15:17 [youtube] 1
        
        Yeah I don't find that play persuasive at all. It's the last play of the half. It's a set up he's never seen (nor has the guy in the video). Maybe - pmb Jan 8, 15:33
        
        is that taking into account when they decided to call plays to his strengths rather than make him fit their play calling? - Beaker Jan 8, 13:21 1
        
        His last six passing grades from week 9 on: 58.1, 56.9, 59.4, 82.0, 49.6, 82.0, 31.7. - David Jan 8, 14:03
      - Trade him for the bag of baseballs -- nm - budice Jan 8, 13:19
  - They're definitely not looking quarterback and have lots of needs, so trading back is likely. Though there are some potentially transformational -- (edited) - pmb Jan 8, 13:16 1
    - if they draft a D player at #1 everyone involved should be fired -- nm - Beaker Jan 8, 13:18
At least I’m not a Colts fan. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 8, 13:02

I just realized that Fred Armisen's Uncle Fester was basically a backdoor pilot for his own series. -- nm - Mop Jan 8, 12:36 13
- Aww, dammit. I can’t stand him. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 8, 12:50 10
  - Yeah, the moment that occurred to me, I realized a lot of people just don't like the guy. -- nm - Mop Jan 8, 13:23
  - Same. I despise him and was so disappointed when he was Fester. Also, too skinny for Fester. -- nm - Krusty Jan 8, 12:51 8
    - We are 5 episodes in and really enjoy it. Ortega and CZJ are perfect as Wednesday and Morticia. Guzman is a miss. - Will Hunting Jan 8, 13:01 7
      - I loved the series and agree completely. Him and Fester were big misses for me though it didn't take away from my total enjoyment of the series. -- nm - Krusty Jan 8, 13:10
      - Nope. Guzman is spot on from the Charles Addams comics. -- nm - Remlik Jan 8, 13:03 5
        
        He's spot on for the look. But he's horrible in the role. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 8, 14:50
        
        I know Raul Julia and John Astin? …. Moderately decent looking guys who are delusionally suave and romantic. - Will Hunting Jan 8, 13:10
        
        He is but he's terrible. Also, no one really knows the comics and he's nothing like the ones we've gotten to know over the years. - Krusty Jan 8, 13:09
        
        yup -- nm - Beaker Jan 8, 13:04 1
        
        agreed -- nm - mud Jan 8, 13:08

- Lamar Jackson making cha ching noises under his breath with every ravens play -- nm - Beaker Jan 8, 10:55 5
  - I’m on the fence on that. Yes, he’s clearly vital, but he’s also clearly hurt again. Makes it tough to cut a check. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 8, 11:12 2
    - the Ravens have never drafted a top-tier WR (much less two or three) for their QBs so what's the point of keeping a top-tier QB without weapons - hollywood big shot Jan 8, 11:28 1
      - Part of that is on scouting. - the wrong element Jan 8, 11:36
  - because Greg Roman loves to let him pass -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 8, 11:03 1
    - The problem with Roman isn't that he doesn't want to pass enough. - the wrong element Jan 8, 11:08

Let’s say Avatar 2 makes 2.1 billion worldwide. His last 3 movies will have made 7.2b total… averaging 2.4b, which is the 3rd biggest ever. - Will Hunting Jan 8, 10:36 16

  - 10.65b from 54 movies vs 7.9bil from 14. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 8, 10:42 7
    - Nice. I think Cameron averaging 564M per film might be his most impressive stat, really. -- nm - Spawn Jan 8, 11:41 6
      - I actually misread. That includes the 3 future Avatars and Piranha 2 which didn’t have a total … so 10 or 11 - Will Hunting Jan 8, 12:08 4
        
        he's made exactly as many features as Quentin Tarantino, in about twice the time -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 8, 12:23 3
        
        and compare the box office results -- nm - Beaker Jan 8, 12:50 2
        
        they do different stuff. i'd rather they both did more but especially for Cameron to go full Ahab on a mediocre story idea for 25 years is malpractice -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 8, 13:07 1
